Police say several people were arrested during a protest at Brooklyn College on Thursday.

Video from Citizen App showed that protesters set up encampments on the campus to voice their support for Palestine.

Police say when they were told to leave the property by police, they refused.

Officers arrested seven people and issued court summonses to seven others.

"The safety of our campus community will always be paramount, and Brooklyn College respects the right to protest while also adhering to strict rules meant to ensure the safe operation of our university and prohibit individuals from impeding access to educational facilities,” Brooklyn College said in a statement.
